Lockpaw

One-hotkey macOS screen lock that covers your display while AI agents and background tasks keep running.

Desktopfreeglobal

Lockpaw is a free, open-source macOS menu bar app that covers the screen with a single hotkey while everything running underneath — including AI coding agents, builds, or downloads — keeps going uninterrupted. It unlocks with Touch ID and can glow to notify the user when a connected AI agent needs attention. It's aimed at developers who run long agent or build sessions and want quick visual privacy without stopping their work.
